ok but there was never too much talk about Jordan leaving to chase money was there..he stayed, he waited and let the team build around him, and in turn he made the players around him better. Other then Dennis Rodman, how many players were truly better then average on the bulls???? Pippen was a good player yes, but Jordan made him the player he was, i dont believe he would have had the same career if he was never with Jordan. kerr, bj armstorn, longley, cartwright, kucoc come on people....this wasnt a first class core around jordan.....yet he made them better. Wasnt Jameson suppose to come in and light a flame under this team...ummm hmmmm where is the leader to keep the flame lit? shaq, and big z should beat most other teams at center on any given night except for very few teams, but even then, that leaves James to make shaq and z better players...not happening yet. Mo Williams for as bad as yo utry to make him out to be, he is a very very servicable player to pair with James...why is he not playing well then???? no leadership on court...whos job is that? If yo uwant to be considered the best player in the league You have to have heart, you have to want to win, you have to be a true leader, you have to take over when things are going wrong. So far when its not the regular season Lebron has not proven any of that in his career. And this is against the (l)East, imagine if he was playing with this team in the west, we probably wouldnt even be having the conversation of whos better lebron or Kobe.
